Searching for destinee

Chapter 2

"DESTINEE!!" I scream as I run up to her to give her a huge hug. I hold her tightly and refuse to let go. "Ahem." A voice from behind me utters, I turn to find Hassan. I realise he wants me to move away because he wants to greet his girlfriend but I ignore him and pull Destinee aside to talk to her.

" I can't wait,this is gonna be awesome." She says. "I know right, I'm glad you're coming because without you, this trip would be so lonely. Well apart from Lane being there to give me company." I reply. Lane, the car loving pervert I call my friend. he's really awesome. And the cool thing about him is he doesn't back away when I get in trouble. I always say, "treasure a friend who doesn't back away when the tides are against you.". So yeah, he's a very good pal.

" I wont leave your side, promise." she says. "What's up, freaks!" I hear from behind me and quickly identify the voice as Lane. " Hey, douche." I reply jokingly. The three of us head to the trailer hooked up behind the bus and pack our bags in, since we have most of the day- until the bus leaves- as leisure time, we roam the school.

Destinee puts on her ear phones and starts to listen to music. I have nothing to do so I take one of her earphones and put it on- without asking (as usual).

" Agh, Rocker kids, seriously?" I say in digust. "What? I like their music." She retaliates. "Dude, their lyrics are so whack, the only time I listen to them is when I'm feeling sad because their lyrics are so bad it makes me burst out laughing." I say as I take off the earphone and hand it to her. " Hey, their lyrics are catchy!" She bursts out." So is the flu!" I reply

By the time we get over our bickering the bus driver starts up the engine. "Everybody get on." he says. I count fifteen seats the exact amount for the passengers. Me, Destinee and Lane take up the front row. Behind us is Hassan followed by the group of other insignificant people coming along. The three front seats are for the two teachers-Mr Fickman and Ms Maggie- and the driver, Morgan. " Better get comfy, kids, we're in for a seven hour drive." the driver says.

There's nothing much to do, it's already bore and we're only barely an hour into the journey! I hear loud music coming from outside the bus. I look out the window to find an old guy in a '60s type Chevy over taking us.Ugh, the music he's blasting is Rocker Kids. He notices me staring and smiles at me, I notice he has a fake golden tooth. "haha, gold tooth." I giggle to myself. "What?" Destinee asks. " let it go, Des". She lays back in her seat. Gold tooth drives off.

" I got it! We can play cards to pass the time." Lane suggests. We all agree so we borrow a deck from one of the people sitting behind us and start playing.

A while into the game Destinee gets penalized and has to pick up ten cards but by mistake picks up eleven. "haha, for a smart kid, you're stupid." I joke. I see the smile on her face instantly drop. She's really inteligant and, I guess, hates to be called stupid." I'm not laughing with you anymore." I can tell she's offended. for the next ten minutes it's me constantly saying "I'm sorry" and she obviously ignoring me.

she finally says something but the noise of the bus is too loud. I come closer and say "Sorry, please repeat yourself."

"Switch seats with Hassan."
